Grace, poise and athleticism define one of the most spectacular of winter sports, with figure skating seen as a showpiece discipline at any Olympic Winter Games.
There are five Olympic figure skating events: ladies singles, men’s singles, pairs, ice dancing and the newly introduced event for the 2014 Olympics – the team event.
Team GB have collected 15 Olympic figure skating medals since 1908 and perhaps none more famous than Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean’s gold medal success at Sarajevo 1984.
